BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a

single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.

BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the

industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on

video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and

look as DVD.

 Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.

 Not all discs will have the features described below.

Important Notice for TV colour system

The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing discs or

video contents (YouTube, etc.).

system, the image is outputted as a NTSC signal.

Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals outputted from the

player.

Notes:

• If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images when

using discs recorded in NTSC.

• The multi system colour TV changes the colour system automatically

according to input signals. In case that the colour system is not changed

automatically, turn it off and then on to see normal images on screen.

• Even if the disc and video contents (YouTube, etc.) recorded in NTSC colour

system are well displayed on your TV, these may not be recorded correctly

on your recorder.

Positioning the System

The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system.

Note that the illustrations in these instructions differ from the actual unit for

explanation purposes.

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the

subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening

position (A).

To prevent injury, install the speakers in a horizontal position only, as the

speaker may fall down.

A Wireless front left speaker/ B Wireless front right speaker:

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as

flush with the screen surface as possible.

C Rear left speaker/ D Rear right speaker:

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly

inwards. Connect the wireless receiver E and the rear speaker (right,

left) with the speaker cables.

F Wireless Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,

because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to

place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the

center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

Connecting the System

Connect the rear speakers to the wireless receiver with the

speaker cables.

Connect the black end of each wire to the terminal marked - (minus)

and the other end to the terminal marked + (plus).

Connect the AC power cords.

1) Connect the AC power cords to the AC~ connector on the back of

the wireless front left and right speakers.

Connect the other end to a wall outlet.

2) Connect the AC power cord to the AC connector on the bottom of

the wireless subwoofer.

Connect the other end to a wall outlet.

3) Connect the AC power cord of the wireless receiver to a wall

outlet.

Be careful of the following

• If there is a strong electromagnetic wave product nearby, interference

may occur. Put the system away from there.

(Ex: Microwave oven)

• Be careful to make sure children do not put their hands or any objects

into the *speaker duct.

*Speaker duct: A hole to allow for plentiful bass sound on speaker

cabinet (enclosure).

• Set the distance of each system within 10m.

• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the

components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will

be distorted and will lack bass.

• The speakers contain magnet parts, so color irregularity may occur on

the TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers away

from the TV screen or PC monitor screen.
